Hi all,
The way I have seen this done is pretty much the same as the way you do it Windows server to Windows client. I use Citrix mainly, and sometimes Rdesktop.
1) Citrix metaframe: the Linux client is free but the server costs. Exports a whole desktop. Uses a more efficient protocol to transmit than does VNC, so appears quicker. Requires a Windows Application server set up. Good graphical display, limited only by the amount of memory you put in the Windows server. I think in our case the license cost vs. Windows desktop maintenance trade-off was something like 60 people. YMMV.
You can export just a single application with Citrix. Just 'publish' the app, and when people click the shortcut on their (linux) desktop, it authenticates, then opens the app. Works pretty well, shame you have to pay for citrix to get it
